3/5 - Question J, Question D, Question P

The always classy Douglas was the contestant on line 3 today. Carrie confirmed again today that $300 was in the prize bucket. Douglas last played on February 17th and received question I for the first time and was out right away. Today, he had better luck, but received another new question.

Question J: confirmed 2/27
Question D: (which is now tied with question H for most asked this round with 4 times each) confirmed 2/19

Question P: What was Theodore Roosevelt's younger sister's husband's name? Corinne is his younger sister.

Answer: Douglas Robinson (too bad you didn't just shout out your name today, Douglas)

$310 will be in the LW Meyers Contractor Supply prize bucket tomorrow.

Good luck

-Until next time

2/19- Question D, Question H, Question E, Question F

This was pretty early in the round to have 4 repeat questions asked, but we got there today, and what a game it was. Ekk (Zach) was the contestant on line 2 with $190 in the pot again today. It was $190 yesterday, so should have been $200 today, but Carrie said $190. Brian was reading the questions off with record speek and Ekk didn't have a problem until the pronunciation bug got him on the last question.

To recap:

Question D: What was Franklin Pierce's youngest son's name? Benjamin (confirmed)
Question H: What was Warren G. Harding's third sister's name? Eleanor Priscilla (confirmed)
Question E: What was Theodore Roosevelt's assasin's name? John Schrank (confirmed)
Question F: What was Harry Truman's mother's name? The answer given was Martha Ella Young, which was wrong. The correct answer should be; Martha Ellen Young

Hopefully $200 will be in the pot tomorrow.

-Until next time...

2/11 - Question E

Today was quite a good round of You Still Can't Win. First of all, we were playing for $14o and frequent caller Douglas emailed me to say that he was trying to get on and if he did, was going to play to part of the crazed college student and praise God for BnB letting him on their show. This was, of course, because the boys had been playing the clip of a student at a speech last night for President Obama "mocking" (according to Brian) the President, since the show started this morning.

Unfortunately, Douglas didn't get in to deliver what would have been a great game, but we were treated to Scott on line 2 for some fun.

The boys at first couldn't get Scott to open up and give them specific answers, and once the question was asked, he gave the answer "Leonhard NehhmOY" to mock Brian a bit. Last week when the contestant won, that is how she pronounced "Leonard Nemoy", of Star Trek fame, who was the correct answer to one of the questions. Brian, usually a stickler for pronunciation, and I know from experience, let it slide and she ended up winning the round. So very entertaining for all listeners to the game.

Alright, onto today's question:

Question E: What was Theodore Roosevelt's assassin's name?
Answer: John Schrank

Good luck as tomorrow we play for $150

-Until next time...
